testing testing 123

In the past month, my students have spent exactly 8 school days doing "practice" or "instructionally targeted" assessments. This is NOT counting the many earlier "predictive" or "instructionally targeted" assessments done in several previous months.

This is not really funny at all, especially considering the amount of time and money spent (wasted?) on all of this citywide. But it was pretty funny when they took a math exam that more or less required the use of a calculator for one portion, and then I only had 10 calculators for 20 kids.

It's okay. I'm good at following the philosphy of "make it work.
